Hand-feeding a monster-sized fish during feeding frenzy
Tarpon are incredible fish that grow up to 2 m (6 feet) in length and can weigh as much as 125kg, or 275 pounds. They are ferocious hunters, attacking their prey with great speed. They eat fish, insects, and crabs, swallowing their food whole. They are primarily nocturnal hunters, although they will eat during the day if the opportunity arises.
Here, the gigantic tarpon can be seen erupting from the water as they are hand fed minnows. This scuba dive guide and tour operator has found a secluded area where the fish have learned to take snacks right from his hand. He is demonstrating this for some of his guests and giving them an unforgettable experience. You can hear the thrill and excitement of the guests as these giants lunge into the air to snatch the fish out of their hands.
A very unique thing about tarpon is that they have a specialized swim bladder. This can also function as an accessory respiratory organ, allowing them to breathe air from the surface so that they can survive in water with very low oxygen saturation. They are also able to swim much faster than other fish in the same environment because of their increased oxygen uptake. This makes them formidable predators. They have voracious appetites, inhaling their food hole.
Tarpon are a beautiful fish with large, shiny scales that shine like a mirror.
This is TNT Dive Pros in Belize. They can be found on Facebook for those wishing to follow them on their adventures.
